You know what though, Iām thinking Iād rather have it not come with anything. That means that the alternator and trans is already beefed up enough not to need the extra stuff.Hopefully it includes an HD trans cooler along with the hitch and harness.
I doubt it will have any additional cooling. The $495 Ranger tow package only includes the 4/7 Pin wiring and the 2" receiver.I quizzed a friend of mine that recently ordered and purchased a Flex with a tow package...he replied that his Flex had wiring and receiver, but also had a larger trans cooler and possibly larger brakes...his vehicle is too new for us to check out the brakes, but he complained to the sales department at his dealer that it was missing a front "splitter" ...sales confirmed that the splitter on the Flex was omitted to make room for the trans cooler...on the Bronco, I sure hope they do something like that ( bigger trans cooler and bigger brakes) for the $600...can't see paying $600 for a wiring harness and receiver.
I'm hoping this is how it is because factory tow pckg isn't avail in base. Hoping it is plug n playYou know what though, Iām thinking Iād rather have it not come with anything. That means that the alternator and trans is already beefed up enough not to need the extra stuff.
In this case, you are free to add your own hitch and wiring for maybe $200. That would save a little $$$$. Just a thought.......
I doubt that it will need an HD trans cooler for 3500 lbs when the Ranger doesn't need one for double the tow rating.Hopefully it includes an HD trans cooler along with the hitch and harness.
Iāve been running this one on our grand Cherokee for a couple of years now:Do you know which one you are getting? The Pakmule Sway Back looks amazing but it's $795. I know it's solid aluminium TIG welded in the US, but that is still a lot of money. I wish there was something in between the $100-$200 garbage racks on Amazon and the Pakmule.
Here's the Pakmule Sway Back:

Not just different shift points, but also activating "trailer sway control."Frequently OEM tow packages will also include a Tow/Haul switch with different transmission shift points better optimized for towing in addition to hitch and wiring. There may be more to it than just a Curt hitch and $5.50 worth of wiring and connectors.
Doesn't look like a towing toggle to me. Looks like some sort of uneven terrain button.Not just different shift points, but also activating "trailer sway control."
This is from the Ford site. Looks like a Towing toggle button in the middle of the drive mode selector. Other pre-production shots show what looks like a Hill Dissent Control button in the same place. This may be a difference when adding the "tow" package.
Hah! Yep. You're totally right.Doesn't look like a towing toggle to me. Looks like some sort of uneven terrain button.
Ford usually uses a little trailer looking thing for a trailer button.Hah! Yep. You're totally right.
I'll leave my post up with an edit...
Is that the sway bar disconnect switch on the BL or is that somewhere else?Doesn't look like a towing toggle to me. Looks like some sort of uneven terrain button.
At first glance it does look like a tow mode button(looks like the small trailer emblem Iāve seen on different tow/haul buttons), but looking closer you are right, itās a bronco silhouette not a trailer silhouette.Doesn't look like a towing toggle to me. Looks like some sort of uneven terrain button.
That's up on the dash - in the row of 5-6 buttons.Is that the sway bar disconnect switch on the BL or is that somewhere else?
